    Putin's house of cards will hopefully soon come falling down around him...while he's trying to force his will on Ukraine, he's also ruining his own country.

    @Tince must not read this thread cuz my math was off by one digit. I think that 40,000 of these $1600 drones could be bought for the price of a 64 million dollar F16. This guy kills or wounds about 50 russians a day. What if there was just 100 guys trained to use these and they lost two a day. They could operate for 200 days. Let's say they are only half as efficient as this guy. That would be 2500 russians a day. In 200 days that would be 500,000 russians. They only have at most 350.000 in Ukraine so even if some were able to go back into combat, for practical purposes they would be wiped out.

    Some good points on why the nuclear threat from Russia is incredibly low.

    US believes Russia had failed intercontinental ballistic missile test around when Biden was in Ukraine

    It's insane and criminal what they do to their own soldiers.

    Day 365. Heavy fighting in Bakhmut. Vuhledar under heavy shelling. Prigozhin showed a photo of killed Wagner mercenaries and accused Russian leadership of a lack of ammunition.

    This clown is on his way out. Unfortunately he sacrificed tens of thousands in suicidal attacks.

    On the war anniversary, Ukraine reminded russians why it was a bad idea to invade. Almost a thousand Orcs, 13 tanks, 11 artillery systems, 3 MLRS and 3 air defense systems.

    Unfortunately he's once again getting ammunition and it's looking like a foregone conclusion that they'll eventually surround Bakhmut.

    China calling for a ceasefire makes me wonder is they just want to free up some grain exports and get Putin some time to regroup and resupply his troops....I don't trust Xi to broker peace with his ally.

    Day 366. One year since the start of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. Over 80% of Ukrainians believe in victory over Russia.

    Probably so, but I never count the Ukrainians out.
